Essays, conversations, and artist portfolios confront questions at
the intersection of race, institutional life, and representation.
Controversies involving race and the art world are often discussed
in terms of diversity and representation-as if having the right
representative from a group or a larger plurality of embodied
difference would absolve art institutions from historic forms of
exclusion. This book offers another approach, taking into account
not only questions of racial representation but also issues of
structural change and the redistribution of resources. In essays,
conversations, discussions, and artist portfolios, contributors
confront in new ways questions at the intersection of art, race,
and representation. The book uses saturation as an organizing
concept, in part to suggest that current paradigms cannot encompass
the complex realities of race. Saturation provides avenues to
situate race as it relates to perception, science, aesthetics, the
corporeal, and the sonic. In color theory, saturation is understood
in terms of the degree to which a color differs from whiteness. In
science, saturation points describe not only the moment in which
race exceeds legibility, but also how diversity operates for
institutions. Contributors consider how racialization,
globalization, and the production and consumption of art converge
in the art market, engaging such topics as racial capitalism, the
aesthetics of colonialism, and disability cultures. They examine
methods for theorizing race and representation, including
"aboutness," which interprets artworks by racialized subjects as
being "about" race; modes of unruly, decolonized, and queer visual
practices that resist disciplinary boundaries; and a model by which
to think with and alongside blackness and indigeneity. Copublished
